Faith. Hope. Love

ABOUT

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” -Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)

The Name

rel·e·vant: closely connected or appropriate to the matter at hand

The name Relevant is not a statement of style, it speaks to our message. Regardless of who you are, where you’re from, what you look like, what you have or haven’t done, we all need good news. There is nothing in the world more relevant than the gospel of Jesus, the message of His amazing grace and unconditional love for all of us.

The Vision

The vision of Relevant Church is to strengthen faith in Christ and inspire love for others through a focus on the gospel of Jesus Christ.

“The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” -Galatians 5:6

Our Values

Everything Points to Jesus – It’s our priority that in everything we do, we point people to Jesus.

Love for Others – God is love, and we love because He first loves us…without conditions.

Family – We are the family of faith, and we value caring for each other through ups and downs.

Authenticity – There’s no pressure to perform, we’re free to be real with God and each other.

Generosity – It’s our heart to love and serve our city…freely we’ve been given so freely we give.

Enjoying Life Together – If we’re going to do life together, we might as well enjoy it!

The Message

“I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” -1 Corinthians 2:2

Every week, it’s our heart to present a simple message in a complicated world, Jesus + Nothing = Everything. There is so much emphasis, both inside and outside the church, on you and what you should or shouldn’t be doing. Unfortunately, the bible is treated like a self-help manual as if everything is riding on us. What we need isn’t good advice, we need good news…we need the gospel, the good news of what Jesus has done in our place!

“we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord” -2 Corinthians 4:5

We believe that as we move the focus off ourselves and fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, we are being transformed.

“we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.” -2 Corinthians 3:18

The Culture

For us, church isn’t just a meeting, an organization or an institution…we are the family of faith. We believe that it’s God heart for us to love, serve and care for each other. We purpose our Sunday services to have a living room feeling, where people feel at ease and at home. We want people to feel free to be themselves, so come as you are, whatever you feel comfortable wearing is perfect!

Our Beliefs

Heavenly Father

We believe in the Eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; distinguishable but indivisible (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

Creation

We believe in the creation, test and fall of man as recorded in Genesis and his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to divine righteousness (Romans 3:10-18).

The Lord Jesus Christ

We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man (Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:16).

Christ’s Death & Resurrection

We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples (1 Corinthians 15:14; Romans 4:25).

Christ’s Bodily Ascension

We believe in the bodily ascension of Jesus to heaven, His exaltation, and His personal, literal, and bodily coming again the second time for the Church (John 14:2-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

Salvation by Grace Through Faith

We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through faith in the perfect and sufficient work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary by which we obtain remission of sins (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12, 22; Romans 5:11).
